Cassel had no opposition when she ran for re-election this year.

The latest convert to the Florida Republicans in the House did not escape the notice of the President-elect.

“Congratulations to Hillary Cassel for becoming the second State Representative from the Great State of Florida to switch her Party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, once more expanding the GOP Supermajority in the State House! I would further like to invite other Disillusioned Democrats to switch Parties, and join us on this noble quest to Save our Country and, Make America Great Again – GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE,” tweeted Donald Trump on Saturday.

Cassel of Boynton Beach left the Dems on Friday, further cementing the GOP supermajority in the House.

“As a proud Jewish woman, I have been increasingly troubled by the Democratic Party’s failure to unequivocally support Israel and its willingness to tolerate extreme progressive voices that justify or condone acts of terrorism. I’m constantly troubled by the inability of the current Democratic Party to relate to everyday Floridians. I can no longer remain in a party that doesn’t represent my values,” said the House District 101 incumbent, who ran unopposed for re-election this year.

Cassel’s flip follows one from Rep. Susan Valdés of Tampa earlier this month.

    Cassel is “increasingly troubled by the Democratic Party’s failure to unequivocally support Israel.”

    Not enough corpses in Gaza for her?

      Apparently that’s the case. Another one that wants to annihilate an entire city’s population. The Holocaust 2.0, only faster and Made in the USA.

        NYT reporting that IDF now okays attacks that are predicted to kill up to 20 innocents — and this is not for a top Hamas suspect, but includes lower-echelon types.. (WaPo says the number is 15, not 20. Obvisouly the IDF isn’t saying in public.)
